    Default A few Sheoak Executive Clickers

    A friend generously gave me a whole bag of very skinny sheoak pen blanks, big enough basically just for slimline/streamline pens.
    With some very careful drilling, I managed to get a stack of them drilled out for Executive Clicker pens. Here are four which I have completed so far, and a whole stack yet to turn. All finished with CA and then polished with micro mesh.

    Comments and critique very welcome.

    Simon.

    Nice looking stuff that Sheoak.

    Would have been a challenge drilling those blanks.

    Thanks. Yes, you can see how much (or how little) timber is left on some of them after drilling. I have checked them all though, and they all JUST make it past the executive clicker bushings. Essentially, by the time I have turned it to a round, it's pretty much at the bushings.

    I love clickers. Good Job with the pens & the drilling. I may have had to just do slimlines, but your did great.
